Permeable paving systems are a highly valuable asset, and in recent years they have gained popularity because of tightening storm water regulations and consumer environmental concerns. Water-permeable paving surfaces have many applications, from a drivable surface across a lawn area in which grass is allowed to grow through them, to a driveway or parking area through which water can pass without running off. These systems are both eco-friendly and exceed Environmental Protection Agency stormwater requirements.
In commercial applications, it is possible that the retention ponds now required to handle surface water can be minimized because of the advantages of permeable pavers. This represents a substantial savings in land utilization while providing a highly desirable appearance, an extended useful life with reduced maintenance costs.
